Technology Dubai to automate building permit approvals with AI system ByThe system will enable the automated issuance of building permits for all private and investment villas, through an intelligent AI agentThe Dubai Municipality has launched a project to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system that will fully automate the building permit issuance process. The project is said to represent a major leap forward in the delivery of building permit services by allowing customers to conduct pre-submission design checks and receive instant decisions on permit applications. Dubai Municipality said the project will be implemented over 3-main phases across a 26-week period. The first phase will focus on developing and testing the AI agent to assess compliance with the Dubai Building Code across multiple engineering disciplines. The final phase will see the full rollout of the system for all private and investment villa building permit applications submitted by engineering consultancy firms across Dubai, with complete integration into the Build in Dubai platform, it stated.
